EM1/SS Posted March 25, 2019 Report Share Posted March 25, 2019 I recently sold my MP40 and have a number of mags that did not go with the gun. Most are normal WWII German mags, but one is an older non-ribbed MP38 mag. What is the current price for each? Thanks Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haenelistklasse Posted March 26, 2019 Report Share Posted March 26, 2019 Hi, I think what above poster said was absolutely correct. Dates and condition matter. For example, I have a "collector" set of MP40 mags and a "shooter" set of MP40 mags. I have paid quite recently as little as $85 plus shipping for decent slab side mags and up to $200 for a nice "collector" mag (ayf 42 minty). These prices all come from gunbroker. MP41 clips seem to go for a bit less as collectors prefer "real" MP40 mags for their gun but they function the same and I really like them. I have picked up MINTY MP41 mags for like $90. Well, hope this helps. Take care, Haenelistklasse PS On the MP38 mag, there is one on gunbroker for like $400 that is just sitting there. I would say on that mag probably like $200-$250 if it is a nice one to the right buyer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EM1/SS Posted March 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 Thanks, I'll take some pictures. They are all range mags in fair/ good condition. No collector mags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Henley Posted March 28, 2019 Report Share Posted March 28, 2019 I'd say $100 to $150 depending on condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NFA amnesty Posted March 28, 2019 Report Share Posted March 28, 2019 I wonder if there would be a market for new production MP40 mags? I know I would purchase quite a few. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huggytree Posted March 28, 2019 Report Share Posted March 28, 2019 i paid $100 each for absolute mint steyr mags from Folke about a year ago...now id sell them for $135-150 i think good condition mags are $90-110 range depending on condition...the prices have risen in the past year....many of my shooter grades were $80-90....now id list them for $110 slab side add $30 or so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petroleum 1 Posted March 28, 2019 Report Share Posted March 28, 2019 I dont even use the factory MP40 mags. I have a dozen vigneron mags that i use for shooting. They are $20-$25 and after a little grinding they really work well in the MP 40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would save the real deal mags and store in my safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EM1/SS Posted April 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2019 I have a few pictures. I'm trying to find the best hosting site. 7 mags have nice original finish, some have a few small dents4 mags have thin original finish1 mag is refinished a few are marked MP41 and Schmeissera few are marked kur and either 43 or 44one is marked gqm 42one is marked fox 42one is marked 98E 42 Are any of these rare markings?

huggytree Posted April 5, 2019 Report Share Posted April 5, 2019 98e i believe is steyr....when i bought mine i asked them to look for all Steyr as i read they were more reliable...i think you will find steyr will sell a bit higher or at least faster i saw a gqm in my pile too just different manufacturers...i dont think any are a gold mine id list the 7 nice ones in 1 group, and the 4 others in another group to maximize $$ the mp41 ones should be listed by themselves...i believe a form member has some of these and they wouldnt fit his gun...they should be advertised as mp41's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is in really nice condition you can get a premium for it. Like another forum member said the MP41 mags do not work in all MP40s. In fact, I traded two MP40 mags to another forum member because he bought two MINTY MP41 mags that would not work in his I think Erb tube gun. The MP41 mags work fine in an Erb tube gun and a pair of C&R MP40s that I own. I might be interested in your gqm 42 mag depending on condition as I don't have one of those and might be interested in one or both MP41 mags depending on condition.

Black River Militaria CII Posted April 9, 2019 Report Share Posted April 9, 2019 Seeing as how this page is also for MP43/44s, I’ll put a question to the forum.I need a complete MP43/44 SAFETY LEVER which means with the flat spring and pivot. I have sources for just the lever but that isn’t going to do the job.Reply to bmg17a1@gmail.com please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerD Posted April 9, 2019 Report Share Posted April 9, 2019 I bought a very nice 98E 40 at a local gun show last month from a dealer who had a large display. He was asking $80 and I bought it for $60. I don't think he knew what he had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnsonlmg41 Posted April 10, 2019 Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 He knew he had a mag he got for $10 years ago and got 60. Or maybe he knew there are well over 100 magazines per registered gun in the US, and that once the price rises to a point, someone will make them and prices will fall? The American retail market always fascinates me! I'll never pay over 50, and the last Vig mags I got last year were $5, but they will require 3-5 minutes of work to fit.

Johnsonlmg41Very curious about what you have done with the grinding on the Vig mags to get them to work. Can you provide information and pictures?Thanks Marty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RogerD Posted December 19, 2019 Report Share Posted December 19, 2019 In regards to the Vig and MP40 magazines some years ago I found magazine dimensions for the two. The MP40 are width .906" length 1.362". The Vig magazines are width .914" length 1.382". Unfortunately I did not note my source so take it for what its worth. I intend on purchasing a few to test these dimensions and performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
